A sump drain is a drain put in the body for withdrawal of fluids and discharges from a wound, sore or cavity. You can find a lot of information if you go to google.com and type in Medical Sump Drain. Good Luck!

I've never heard the term "sump drain".

Are you talking about things like ileostomy, or colostomy, etc.?
